Research

Solar power plants, wind parks and combined heat and power systems have established in energy generating technology. To achieve a high operating reliability, MicroControl solutions ensure perfect system control and precise transfer of measurement data. As for example in the adjustment of solar panels, in temperature measurement in block-type thermal power plants or in torsion measurement in wind power stations.

Until a vehicle gets road-permission, a number of measurement taske have to be fulfilled along the development chain. During vehicle testing in extreme conditions – in prototyping and pilot series e.g. – MicroControl systems offer the necessary performance and often are an efficient alternative to expensive measurement technology. A variety of different measurement spots in a car can be realized as well as modular test facilities for motors using the 19″ slide-in units.

Construction machinery is exposed to extreme conditions and components have to be designed to long-term reliability. The systems have to feature a rugged design, high vibration resistance as well as dirt and water tightness. Also, the systems have to withstand low as well as high ambient temperatures.

Varying ambient temperatures from cold winters to summer heat, resistance against environmental influence, such as shock or vibration – these are the main requirements for agricultural technology. Before these vehicles go into series production, they are thoroughly tested in extreme conditions – day and night. In tough test applications, the CAN bus technology from MicroControl ensures reliable data transfer between vehicle components and the testing facility.
